Perils Of The Night Tube
It’s about 3:00 am, and I am on a night tube (metro) train home. I have been working a long weekend shift, but everyone else is out partying, so I think the train driver and I are the only ones on the train not drunk.
I hear the train driver say the following over the speakers for about a minute.
Train Driver: “Doors are closing. Please stand away from the closing doors.”
Train Driver: “I said the doors are closing! The doors will not close if you are in the way.”
I look around to check my carriage, but no one is blocking the doors; it must be a passenger somewhere else on the train.
Train Driver: “The train can’t move unless you move away from the doors.”
The doors finally close.
Train Driver: “Thank you to the passenger that pushed them out of the train.”
